[DATA EXPUNGED]
@dansup Glad you're back on track. I was afraid #pixelfed was abandoned. I basically could barely use it from mobile (videos wouldnt upload, arranging sequence of photos not possible), so I didnt even take time to report issues. I hope to try it out again in upcoming days and write things down. Keep going, this project is needed! It's easy to take for granted all the pieces that comprise the fediverse. I'd like to take a moment to thank a few people who laid the groundwork and/or steward initiatives that benefit projects like @pixelfed and push the fediverse forward. @cwebber - activitypub author + goblins dev @bagder - curl developer @mike - zap developer, nomad(ic identity & protocol wizard) @humanetech - stewards ethical/humane initiatives @feditips - unbiased source for topics that affect new and old users @apps, @Tusky & other apps - proving an open 3rd party app ecosystem can be sustainable @Gargron & mastodevs - adopting and helping grow activitypub openly, never using his position and reach against other projects GNU/Social - created oStatus, the AP predecessor And many more, a lot of people and organizations have made a positive impact! I feel like its a blessing and a curse to be developing a fediverse project alone. I'm very fortunate to have the audience I have, not many projects have this, but it can get tough. I feel so alone sometimes, my partner doesn't get why I feel so proud sometimes, because I solved a problem or made a small improvement. None of my family and few friends have made an effort to join Pixelfed, it makes me appreciate the fediverse even more. Thank you ❤️

Thank you for supporting the world and not just corporate interests. Pixelfed is a treasure and has empowered people from all over the world and given them a welcoming platform to share their creativity without fear that they're some monetization scheme somewhere. Release now and call it beta. Collect feedback. Use it to prioritize features 👌 If people say "it's buggy as hell", point at the beta label.

@dansup i load my #acrylicpictures to #pixelfedsocial , I am active in #openstreetmap , have my first #exhibition and promote for example #pixelfed , i am translating very much #fdroid #apps and now i am sitting in an cafe and drink some #coffee @dansup watching –through the iron white bars of my crib– the thin sliver of light between the floor and the bottom of the closed door of my bedroom, looking at that light changing as shadows of silhouettes formed and dissolved. I was 2 years old. @dansup Stealing a cool knight from my daycare mom's son's Lego castle.
I still have that knight, but I haven't been stealing much since. |
@dansup search is a good idea
